Jupiter
Scientists think that there is a possibility that the sixth known moon from Jupiter, Europa, might contain some type of biological life. Scientists know that Europa contains frozen water, but it could also contain the largest ocean in our solar system (more information about Europa here). Since 1996, the Galileo orbiter has passed by Europa a couple of times, taking many pictures and measurements of Europa.
